strange problem with renderslaves

[metroberlin]

it´s from an animation...most of the slaves render in the right way (B)...but some render like in A, what´s def. wrong. all machines have the same network pathes, same version etc etc etc....

does anybody has an idea ? very urgent !!.. thanks

[instinct]

How many renderslaves do you have ? and are textures/lightmaps on one machine ? and what OS is that machine ?

Cause WinXP only allows a certain number of network connections at once (10). So if your server is a windows machine and you got more then 10 renderslaves that might be the problem.

yes, i know the problem but it´s not the cause....20 out of 22 are rendering WRONG ....lightcache is stored in the network, same for irradiance map...but the rest of the scene look okay !! it´s just THIS geometry with THESE textures that is always black. on some machines it´s okay on other not...no plugin used, i even collapsed it....i´m desperate

try copying that texture to the local drives of the machines.

The reason its rendering black is most likely because they cant gain access to it

i did it all....but i think i solved it finally...it has nothing to do with maps and network etc...it´s the geometrie...when i delet it, the wall behind gets the right infomation. so i deleted the "bad" geometry and merged an older version of it into the scene...now it works....and i have no idea why !

Thats pretty weird.
